In 1986, Spencer Bloch published the paper "Algebraic Cycles and Higher K-theory" which introduced a higher Chow group, a precursor to motivic cohomology. The paper used an incorrect moving lemma; the lemma was later replaced by 30 pages of complex arguments that "took many years to be accepted as correct." [1] Kepler conjecture. Hsiang ...
Euclidean geometry is a mathematical system attributed to ancient Greek mathematician Euclid, which he described in his textbook on geometry, Elements.Euclid's approach consists in assuming a small set of intuitively appealing axioms (postulates) and deducing many other propositions from these.

Euclid's axiomatic approach and constructive methods were widely influential. Many of Euclid's propositions were constructive, demonstrating the existence of some figure by detailing the steps he used to construct the object using a compass and straightedge. His constructive approach appears even in his geometry's postulates, as the first and ...
Project Euclid's stated mission is to advance scholarly communication in the field of theoretical and applied mathematics and statistics. [3] Through a "mixture of open access, subscription, and hosted subscription content it provides a way for small publishers (especially societies) to host their math or statistics content".
At the conclusion of the five-day period, papers are sent to an international expert committee composed of mathematics faculty from the world’s leading universities. Traditionally, 3-4 teams are awarded the top designation of Outstanding and invited to an awards ceremony, held in a different country each year.
In mathematics, the Euclidean algorithm, [note 1] or Euclid's algorithm, is an efficient method for computing the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two integers, the largest number that divides them both without a remainder. It is named after the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid, who first described it in his Elements (c. 300 BC).
